AMD and Nutanix have entered a multi-year partnership to develop an open, full-stack AI infrastructure platform for agentic AI applications. The deal also includes an equity investment and joint funding for engineering and commercial work.
AMD plans to purchase USD $150 million of Nutanix shares at USD $36.26 per share. It will also commit up to USD $100 million for joint engineering initiatives and go-to-market collaboration tied to integrated products.
The first jointly developed platform is expected to reach the market in late 2026. The roadmap targets enterprise and service provider deployments across data centre, hybrid, and edge environments.
Funding and equity
The planned stock purchase creates a direct financial link between the chipmaker and the infrastructure software provider. The investment is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
The additional USD $100 million funding commitment is separate from the share purchase. It is intended to support joint engineering and go-to-market work, with an emphasis on driving adoption of the agentic AI platform on AMD accelerated compute infrastructure.
Platform roadmap
The partnership focuses on optimising the Nutanix Cloud Platform and Nutanix Kubernetes Platform for AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct GPUs. It also includes plans to integrate AMD ROCm and AMD Enterprise AI software into Nutanix AI full-stack offerings.
